I made a card and a little box of note cards with today's sets.  Making the box nearly killed me!  It should have been so simple.  I started out with a pizza box style and having stuck it together found it was too small for the envelopes, the 2nd attempt I got the measurements wrong so went for a basic box and even now the lid is a little too big!

  7. Your box and cards are wonderful. I know what you mean about getting measurements right when making boxes but when it is done it is great.

  14. Like the set of cards & box. Wild about this stamp set. Wonderful creations. On my bucket list is to go on an African Safari. I used Be Wild & Free for the Simple Salutations Ch#3 Tree and used 2 inks to color it. It's like I'm part of the hop. You gals have such wonderful techniques for your creations.
